Removal of Land Points.

I never get bored on Shaman.

There's always something for me to do, IC and OOC.

I frequently get confused/stuck.

When I get confused/stuck, I am happy with the help available.

I feel that playing Shaman helps to improve my writing.

When I joined it was not with the intention to commit, but now I'm here I love it.

I feel that enough is done to make sure that improvements are constantly being made.

I feel that if I want something, I have the opportunity to work for it and achieve it.

There is a good balance between free gifts and things I have to work for.

Sometimes there is not enough going on.

Sometimes there is too much going on.

The number of contests is good.

The prizes given in contests are good.

The type and variety of contests are good.

If I have an opinion/suggestion I know where to go to be heard, and I feel like I am listened to.

I love the plots on Shaman.

The plots on Shaman progress too fast - sometimes I just want a breather.

I trust that all decisions made are carefully thought over and that second opinions are sought.

I am happy with the staffing on Shaman.

Points.

Coins.

Doubloons.

Items.

Mythical/extinct familiars.

Extreme/special powers.

"Elite" Core/Castle positions.

High levels.

I was overwhelmed with the amount of information on the site.

I was impressed by the level of detail which had gone into the information pages.

I was confused at first, but settled in fairly quickly.

The older players were very helpful and willing to answer my questions.

I felt intimidated by the older players out of character.

I felt intimidated by the quality of posts on the boards.

I made friends quickly.

I was able to join the character I had in mind without too much restriction.

It was hard for my character to gain powers/levels/make a name for itself because everyone else was so far ahead.

I already knew people/had friends at Shaman prior to joining.
